Jed Lane in St Albans – A private right-of-way named in 1967. A tiny amount of information from the library website. The updated library website had added that it was possibly named after HMS Jed.
There were two ships named HMS Jed and one was in service between 1904 and 1919 and the second one was in service between 1942 and 1957. They were named after a river in Scotland.
There was very little information on Papers Past and it was mostly a few ads. In April 1967 this street was mentioned in the article that had the headline Navel Names for Streets.
The houses here were built in the 1960s and there was a footpath that went a short way up the lane but I didn’t walk this private lane. Sometimes it just doesn’t feel comfortable walking such streets.
